 This was taken minutes after wickee_one took her picture for Deja Vu II. I added some contrast to the sky but the colors here are nowhere near what nature provided. The sky was grayish blue with splashes of crimson.

Cool composition. A shot after my own heart. The sea and sunset, color and atmosphere look very familiar to me. The shot looks perfectly processed. So natural looking and appealing.

brilliant perspective and colour I love this photograph!

Beautiful shot, love the feel to it and the colors are just incredible. Only suggestion would have been to set the Ap up a bit to make a slow shutter speed to make the waters look more silky. Other than that, love the composition and pretty much everything else. Nice work.
